Nintendo Switch Sports update out now (version 1.2.3), patch notes

Posted on October 19, 2022 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch

The second Nintendo Switch Sports update of the week has now gone live, and distribution of version 1.2.3 has started.

For those that aren’t keeping up with the situation, Nintendo’s patches this week are intended to address issues that started with version 1.2.1. With that update, cheaters were primarily being targeted. However, some players ended up encountering crashing issues once version 1.2.1 was installed. Due to the problems, online servers were even taken offline for a few days.

The official patch notes for the Nintendo Switch Sports version 1.2.3 update are as follows:

Bug Fix
We’ve made a fix for players who couldn’t resolve the issue of software closing even by applying the previous update (Ver. 1.2.2).
After updating, some players may find that the order of “Accessories (head)” in “Customize” will be different than before the update. This will not have effects on playing the game.

Due to the recent issues, those who have played Nintendo Switch Sports and are currently a member of Switch Online will have their membership extended by one week. Further information will follow later. Additionally, between October 17 and November 2, points earned when playing “Play Globally” are doubled in all sports. And last but not least, a solution is in the works so that players can collect rewards they may have missed out on – we’ll let you know when we have more information on that front.

All players on Switch can download the new version 1.2.3 update for Nintendo Switch Sports now. Another update adding golf is scheduled for this holiday.
